> One of the installers offered a nice "auto" disk setup system, and then promptly sliced up the disk space a bunch of different ways. Everything was fine until maybe 30 minutes later when it was time to install GNU Radio. It was just trucking along until... it ran out of disk space. What happened? The path for ports was given its own filesystem for some reason, and it was 4 GB. This is what ended my experience with freebsd ~20 years ago. I had a system that had freebsd (4.1?). I had used the automatic partitioning during the initial install. Later, when trying to upgrade it, / or /boot filled up, breaking the system.
